    Not as bad as the press it's getting. Fans will not be disappointed, and this is aimed at them anyway. There's some real stormers, there's a lot that's new, and it's still better than 99% of the drivel being produced right now. It's not Fat of the Land, but it still satisfies in a way that only Prodigy can.

    Ok ok...so its no Fat of the Land. I have to admit that when i first bought this album, i seriously considered returning it...but i gave it chance, and stopped trying to hear "Fat of the Land in my Head". What you have to realise is that even though Liam has kept the name The Prodigy, its not..at all. This is a Solo...kind of like Wyclef from the Fugees or whatever the case may be.

So listen to it as such and maybe you might just find yourself, as i did, tapping along and adding it to your collection.… Expand

    Overall, no this album was not as great as it could have been. It one of the albums containing a few really good songs surrounded by crap. Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned also features a barrage of guest vocals - some of which made for good tracks. Others (like those with Juliette Lewis at the microphone) just hurt my ears.

    Too much "more of the same".

    A truly weak record from a group that has an otherwise great catalogue of work. Two or three decent songs can't save an album full of questionable choices (Juliette Lewis on vocals) and melodies that just weren't appealing to me.

    It's like a series of beats in search of a firestarter. [3 Oct 2004]

    If electroclash left you cold... then this is, idealistically, how it should have sounded.

    After all these years, is that it? [Sep 2004, p.110]
